Abstract
As pointed out in Part I, hydrogen bonds involving C-H groups differ from those with O-H or N-H groups in that the hydrogen atom may or may not have electronegative atoms as first neighbors in crystal structures. Unlike the stronger O-H · · · O or N-H · · · O bonds, the hydrogen bonds with C-H as donor will not have a major influence on molecular conformation. They occur when other packing forces and stereochemical constraints bring C-H bonds and electronegative acceptor atoms within the range of electrostatic interactions, about 3.0 Å
